Two chapters in less than twelve hours! Although this chapter is really short. So, I got a few comments worrying that I'm going to split Keelin and Freya up because of the return of Matthias. DO NOT WORRY! I am literally in love with Freelin and I could never break them up! Seriously guys, you have nothing to worry about. They're staying together through it all :)

Freya and Keelin are still at the bell tower, sitting beside each other on the cot. Freya hadn't said anything in over fifteen minutes and Keelin was starting to get worried about what was going through the witch's mind.

"Freya, are you okay?" Keelin asks. "Your silence is killing me."

"I'm sorry, I just, don't really know what to say. This doesn't feel real."

"But it is. It is real. Your son is alive." Keelin smiles at Freya. She was genuinely happy for the witch. She knew how much it hurt her to lose her son. She was happy that she would now get a chance to know her child. However, she was very concerned about the elephant in the room—Matthias. "And so is Matthias."

Green eyes meet brown eyes as Freya looks up at Keelin.

"He's definitely something," Keelin jokes. "Very hot. I can see why you're so in love with him." Keelin was using humor to hide the obvious insecurity she felt at the moment. She was happy that Freya had her son back, but she was worried about where that left her and Freya.

"Keelin…" Freya starts but finds a hard time finding the words that will make her girlfriend feel better. She knew this had to be difficult for the wolf.

"It's okay. I get it. Right now you have to focus on Jakob and Matthias. I'm not going to get in the way of that."

"You," Freya says as she holds Keelin's hands in her own. "Could never get in the way. Keelin, Matthias being back changes nothing."

"It changes everything, Freya."

"No, it doesn't. I'm in love with you, that definitely hasn't changed and it never will."

"But you were in love with him too and you two have a child together. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to try to make that work. I'm sure Jakob would want…"

"Keelin," Freya interrupts instantly. "I can't go through this without you! I won't! I love you. So when I say this changes nothing, I mean that. Please don't let this come between us."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Freya smiles as she kisses Keelin. "I love you, Keelin."

"I love you too," Keelin replies.

"So, what's he like? Jakob?"

"He's amazing Freya," Keelin smiles. "You're going to love him so much. More than you already do if that's even possible. I can't wait until you meet him."

"He sounds amazing. I just don't understand how he's a little boy. He died as a baby."

"Hopefully you can find out tonight. Speaking of tonight, should we tell your family about all of this?"

"If I tell my family they're not going to want me to meet them alone."

"Is that really such a bad thing? I know you were in love with him, but I don't trust him Freya."

"I don't know that I do either, but I can't risk anything getting in the way of seeing Jakob. He's the only one I'm concerned about."

"Can't we at least tell your dad?" Keelin sighs.

"Keelin, we'll be fine. Matthias is just a human. Besides we might not even have anything to worry about."

"Fine, but if he tries anything I will hurt him myself."

Freya smiles at Keelin's over protective nature. Not that she could really blame her. She was the same way.

"I'll tell them tonight, after we meet with them. For now, I should be fine with a powerful werewolf on my side."

Matthias' Home

"Dad, I don't want to play magic anymore," Jakob whines. "I want to play with my soccer ball outside."

"Jakob, I promise you can play in the yard, after you perform the spell."

"Why do I have to practice every day?"

"Because, it's important son."

"Why?"

"Your famous one word question," Matthias smiles. "It's because I'm trying to make this city safe for us so that we can stay here, permanently."

"With mom?"

"Yes, with mom."

"And her friend Keelin?"

"You ask a lot of questions son. Let's work on the spell."

"Why can't you do magic dad?"

"Because, I wasn't born a witch. You were because of who your mother is. Now, no more questions. Focus on the spell."

"Okay!"

Jakob closes his eyes and starts chanting.

"At a boy. Focus on finding more witches."

Thanks for reading! I appreciate any kind of feedback (good or bad)!
